NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

As I was saying… futurism.com/billionaires...

In the Network State ideology, social order will be imposed via total surveillance. Curtis Yarvin’s “patchwork” (2008) envisions citizens who must scan into cities and be tracked 24/7. Ellison, along with Yarvin cultists Andreeseen Horowitz, will soon control TikTok. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

I keep thinking about this full on Shakespearean level shit from the campaign. (via the TV Congress memo) Absolutely astonishing that, given this, people with real power are proposing "Dems move right" as a solution. Voters just. wanted. change. chartingthewayforward.substack.com/p/tv-congres...

I'll be addressing this directly with the oversight board chair and the director of the city's office of community police oversight on Monday.

The next Dallas Police Oversight Board meeting is at 5:30 PM on October 14 at City Hall. It would be helpful for residents to attend and offer public comment on this.

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

Yes, but not the beginning. This is Act 2. We only have a few moments to salvage the #ThirdAct. Two radically different visions to choose from. Environmentalists like @billmckibben.bsky.social or The #LeagueOfDictators

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Here’s a free version. It’s well worth reading. Klein has an outsized opinion of himself if he thinks that he needed to write nonsense whitewashing Kirk’s legacy in order to sit in grief with people who mourned his loss. It’s absurd. Coates makes Klein look feckless and uninformed.

“new details suggest that the recent deal to permit chip sales to the #UAE were tied up in a variety of major #cryptocurrency deals that enriched both the Trump Organization and others in the #Trump administration.” #GCC #MBS #Lawfare #RatSec shows.acast.com/rational-sec...

“The conservative supermajority’s lawless shadow docket decision let the president unilaterally cancel $4 billion in foreign aid.” 🙈⚖️👺👹 #Repugnant #SCOTUS

So I don’t know what the “shutdown” fuss is all about. I think they think Trump has the inherent power to spend money, too. Not just impound what he doesn’t like. Next week, he’ll have Stephen Miller write his own appropriations bills. And he’ll leave the courts’ funding out.

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

It is hard to put into words how this past week basically erased a decade’s worth of work to promote of acceptance of #ActuallyAutistic people and accommodate autism. But somehow Trump did more to promote fear and lies around autism than any other president. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

This interview with my dear colleague Russ McSpadden is a phenomenal roundup of our work to stop Trump's absurd and irreversibly destructive push to wall off Arizona's San Rafael Valley. And if you're not already following @peccarynotpig.bsky.social, you should!

Arizona has a long history of voting rights battles and now, a system glitch is putting over 218,000 eligible voters at risk. One Arizona is meeting this moment head-on. Find out how, by reading the full story: bit.ly/46l1VGG

Why is Trump so worked up about Antifa, an organization which does not exist (though it was used during World War II to describe the Allies who opposed fascism)?

#ICE and #DHS demonize and debase themselves, then try to blame others for misfortune and mistrust of their own design.

Everything #Trump does is political violence. Even his speech is precisely crafted to use the most violent language possible.

US AG Pam #Bondi, while constantly promoting and defending most violent and bigoted men: “There's free speech and then there's hate speech [...] We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Nice app ya got there. Be a shame if I threw it out the window because you won’t hand it over to #LarryEllison.” rdela.com/defenestrati...

Our illegitimate mafioso on his fourth hand-wavy delay: “We have a group of very big companies that want to buy [ #TikTok ],” #Trump said, adding that he would “hate to see value like that thrown out the window.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

Department of Education being renamed Department of Ignorance

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods. It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

BREAKING: Federal judge in Los Angeles issues preliminary injunction against Department of Homeland Security to restrict use of force against press, legal observers and protesters. Judge in LA Press Club v. Noem calls out "surprising savagery" of DHS officers: "The First Amendment demands better."

Exactly what a Nazi would say.
